Stay OB and have fun with it. That's the nice thing about a car that will never be a concours queen, or GTS collectible, you can do your own thing and not worry about other's asspinions.

Just rice it up with a big wing...and cannards..and vortex generators out of a captain crunch cereal box. Whatever, it'll be yours to have fun with and learn about wrenching on the shark.

thats how i like it, so the s4 is the last 928 or the second to last?

do you have flares on your rear quarter panels?

There was a red widebody 928 in Virginia which was cheap but needed TLC. I think it was in Hampton, check autotrader and craigslist.

No flares yet. Soon I hope. I do have side skirts that go all the way to the back wheel well and up about a quarter of the door. Looking at Otts or 928MS flares to blend in.

have pics of the flares you want?

guess what everyone, i know you all really care...

i bought it! for $500...

the seller drove it home behind me and i actually like the looks a lot of the 1981 body, even without any wing or lip it looks nice.... some nice 19" wheels will make it look sweet.
